josefina & mario is a caturra lot from jinotega, nicaragua, processed using the honey method, which leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying. that process shapes a cup that sits between clean and fruit-forward, with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest alongside peach, stone fruit, and honeycomb sweetness, finished with jasmine florals. it suits brewing methods that preserve clarity and sweetness, so a pour-over or filter approach will let the brighter citrus notes come through while keeping the honey body intact. grind medium-fine and use water around 92-94°c.

common questions

What does Josefina & Mario taste like?

expect bright citrus, lemon, and grapefruit up front, with peach and stone fruit in the middle, and a honeycomb, jasmine sweetness that carries through to the finish.

How is Josefina & Mario grown and processed?

it is a caturra varietal grown in jinotega, nicaragua, and processed using the honey method, meaning the coffee is dried with some of the fruit mucilage still attached to the bean.

How should I brew Josefina & Mario?

a filter or pour-over brew works well here, as it preserves the citrus clarity and floral notes that the honey process produces, use a medium-fine grind and avoid overextraction to keep the brightness intact.
